I think they both look good. I do like the white lettering.

Gold text is a winner for me, but the 31 movement is the real clincher.

Prob have to agree with the movement point for sure.  The older movements have been proving far superior to their new counterparts.Sent using Tapatalk |

Either, both. It is about fit and wear and value. I have owned both models and the prior generation would be my choice.

The flat matte dial on the 116613 is a rare bird... I much prefer it over the sunburst dials.

The flat blue dial is infinitely better than the sunburst IMO. Plus I prefer both the 3135 and the Supercase of the 116613... but I also slightly prefer the white text of the 126613.

The newer subs look nicer but it’s what’s inside that counts. The new 32 movement is a service Queen.

Sunburst dial looks flat often too at various lighting conditions. Dial itself is the reason why this is my grail watch.

The 11 series Bluesy all the way.
The gold text makes it more unique and much more elegant. Plus the rock solid 31xx movement. |

Is it just me but the gold yellow gold indices tend to pop more on the LB vs the LN?

Gold lettering, thin lugs, rock solid movement.
All in the 5-digit package…

I much prefer the thinner lugs, wider bracelet/clasp and the white lettering, gold
looks very dated to me
